Escott woman recognized for excellent health care

A health care worker from Escott has been recognized for her good work.

Speaking from her home near Rockport, Kelly Forbes admits she is pleasantly surprised to be Employee of the Month at Carveth Care Centre for September 2021.

“I enjoy it,” the 41-year-old replies when asked about her work as a Personal Support Worker for the past 20 years at the accredited long-term home in Gananoque.

Known for her positive attitude, Kelly notes, “I enjoy interacting with the residents. I like hearing their stories.”

Speaking on behalf of the home, Director of Care Shelley Bender notes, “Kelly is always helping… She has an infectious laugh and smile. She is flexible and helps with the orientation of students. She also assists on committees such as continence. We are grateful for her good work.”

Kelly thinks of a lot of the home.

“I find Carveth very family-oriented. The staff does a lot with the residents,” she confirms.

When she’s not at work, Kelly enjoys boating and spending time with her family.

She hesitates when asked to describe herself.

“I have no idea,” she says kindly. “I try to be friendly. I’m also semi-active. My children play a lot of sports and I have to keep up with their hockey, soccer and baseball.”

Kelly is content to stay working at the accredited long-term care home for the rest of her career. She sees herself retiring from Carveth Care Centre someday.

“I’ve put in a lot of years. Why go anywhere now,” she says with a laugh.

Amherstview cook takes risks and reaps rewards

Alyssa Paul is a risk-taker.

Only 23-years-old, she has already moved across Canada to start a new life with her boyfriend. Someday, she will return home and open her own business.

Talking on a warm summer day in August 2021, Alyssa wears a small smile as she discusses her work as a cook at Henderson Care Centre in Amherstview which began the previous fall (October 2020).

“I was born and raised in Frog Lake, a small Cree reserve in Alberta,” she explains. “I moved to Ontario because my significant other is from here and mostly for the professional job opportunities out this way.”

In her short time in Ontario, Alyssa has made a positive impression at her workplace which named her Employee of the Month for September 2021.

“I was very surprised to win this award,” she admits. “It makes me happy and proud.”

Alyssa is graduate of culinary arts. She enjoys cooking and baking.

“My specialty is decorating cakes,” she says with a smile.

“When I come here it doesn’t feel like I’m working. I like cooking and it’s a pleasure to cook for the residents,” she says about her job at the family owned and operated retirement lodge and long-term care home.

Asked to describe herself, Alyssa admits she can be quiet and shy, but she’s pushing herself to talk more to the residents and staff.

“I like to think I’m grounded and caring, as well,” she adds.

When she’s not working as a cook, Alyssa will pick-up shifts as a Dietary Aide in the busy, fun-filled home.
